The goal today is to bring into focus just HOW powerful our thoughts are when it comes to making a lifestyle change. They will either MAKE you or BREAK you. Your thoughts WILL determine your success. I read a quote the other day that really stuck with me…”When there is no enemy WITHIN, the enemy […]

This topic came up because I was recently sitting at soccer practice. When the kids got a break, I immediately pulled out my phone and pretended that I was talking to someone. WHY? Well, I am trying to teach my son about INTRINSIC motivation. He is that kid — I think we all have one […]

It may seem weird to talk about willpower since we’re constantly saying that a successful journey cannot be solely an exercise in willpower. I stand by that — the goal is to get to a point when you don’t need willpower to live the life you’ve built. You live this way because you’ve grown to […]

We even wrote about it at some point. To summarize, I said that since we interacted with food daily, […]

If you’ve ever needed a no-nonsense sesh, this one’s for you. Week after week, I sit in front of our cohorts and tell my clients how to overcome hard things. I like to think I’m pretty darn good at it. Having gone through my fair share of hard things and coming out the other side. […]
